Racists react after Trump disavows the 'alt-right' in New York Times interview

Donald Trump may have disavowed his most virulently racist and xenophobic supporters on Tuesday, but not all of them are upset about it.

Trump disavowed the “alt-right” in a meeting with The New York Times, saying he doesn’t “want to energize the group, and I disavow the group.” The alt-right has become a catch-all term for white nationalists and neo-Nazis who have deftly spread racist and xenophobic messages through various online platforms.
